Its most likely your first period. My first one was the worse. X

I did think that but I’ve had the implant so that should of stopped that really and it hasn’t stopped completely at all since she has been born x

I bled on and off for the 6 weeks. Just when I would think it was over, I would start again. Sometimes heavy. Didn’t get my first period until 2.5 months but that’s because I chose to pump and formula feed. So I think it came back earlier than if I was exclusively breastfeeding from the nip.

Maybe your period? My first one was around 4-5 weeks pp and it was heavier than usual and alot more painful!

I bled and spotted for 9 weeks with my csection. It just didn't stop lol with my VBAC I only bled/spotted for 6 weeks. If you're worried definitely call your OB to make sure everything is okay

I stopped bleeding 4 weeks pp then started again at 6 weeks. There was so much I went to the hospital I thought I was having a secondary hemorrhage but they checked me and said it was my period. It was insane honestly I was passing clots the size of hamsters it was worse than my post partum bleeding

Either first period or if you’ve overdone it with walking etc. it can still happen x

I bled on and off for 12 weeks. Then it stopped for a week and started gushing out again so bad I had to start using my maternity pads again. The blood filled 4 pads and I started feeling unwell. I was taken to hospital in an ambulance and they found out that I had a 6cm blood clot. They had to stop the bleeding in the hospital. Luckily, my body cleared it and I was put on antibiotics to make sure there wasn’t an infection. All I am saying is, go and get it checked. It might be nothing, but better be safe than sorry!

Sam did you feel ok or unwell?

@Stephanie I felt okay up until I had to start using those giant maternity pads again. Then the blood loss made me feel lightheaded and unwell
